January 26, 2024 Dear Lexington Faculty and Staff:
This is a hard letter for me to write. Today, I notified the Board of Trustees that I will be resigning from my position as CEO/Superintendent of Lexington at the end of my current contract year, June 30, 2024. This is not a decision I arrived at quickly or easily. I have, however, decided that it is time for me to move on and explore my next professional journey. The opportunity to lead this tremendous school, organization and community for the last four and a half years has been the honor and privilege of my career.
The Board of Trustees of the Lexington School and Center for the Deaf accept Superintendent/CEO Russell O. West’s resignation from his position effective June 30, 2024, with appreciation for his leadership and numerous accomplishments, including obtaining dual accreditation for Lexington School and the completion of the 5-Year Strategic Plan. The Lexington Board of Trustees wish him well and recognize his desire to focus on his family (wife, Gabi and children, Rowen and Milo) in this new chapter. Click here to view the message in ASL.
